Just noticed Jermaine Pennant had started following him on Instagram.
Must know each other from their Arsenal days.
Didn't realise Hallsy was a model?!
Always was a bit of a poser I guess!

I would. You'd fuck a frog if it would stop hopping long enough.  |

Another one who left for greener pastures but ultimately slid down the leagues into obscurity.

He was a very decent player for us at the time and earnt himself what was definitely a stepup from mid-table Championship (give or take) to a club that was pushing for The Premiership in Reading. Looking at his wikipedia page I can't help but feel he didn't come close to utilising his full potential. The talent was there but it seems he didn't have the required mental-attributes.
Looking at his google-images page though it seems the lucky fucker has dropped on in finding a ready-made, no-talent required career after football.

I think the rumours were that he quite liked a good time on the sauce and other recreational substances. |

Just looked up Halls career on wiki, I hadn't quite appreciated what a total wash out it has been, owing to mostly to injuries but I suspect a little bit by being too much in love with himself as well. 61 appearances for us, 39 for Aldershot, 23 for Brentford an err... that's about it  Years Team Apps†(Gls)†2000–2003 Arsenal 0 (0) 2002 ? Colchester United (loan) 6 (0) 2002–2003 ? Beveren (loan) 6 (0) 2003 ? Stoke City (loan) 8 (0) 2003–2006 Stoke City 61 (2) 2006–2008 Reading 2 (1) 2007 ? Preston North End (loan) 4 (0) 2008 ? Crystal Palace (loan) 5 (0) 2008 ? Sheffield United (loan) 6 (0) 2008–2009 Brentford 23 (0) 2009–2011 Aldershot Town 39 (1) 2011–2012 Wycombe Wanderers 7 (0) |

Remembering getting a massive ovation from Stoke fans at Highbury in the FA Cup, surely the highlight of his footballing career

I really liked this lad when he played for us was quality, didnt he fuck up his career due to a failed drug teast, cocain want it, remember seen him up hanley in chcargo rock toilets after a mid week game was a good night, really thought he would make it big, one of my favourite players that season he moved to Reading

Played around 160 games in 12 years. That is an incredible waste for what appeared to be quite a talented player.

He actually said in an interview I read somewhere that he was gutted when he heard pulis came back in 2006 because the reason he left stoke was because of Boskamp.

You do look at those stats of his career and think that it certainly didn't fulfil his potential

Imagine the boos he'd get now from this generation.

Next time you wander up the Potteries, take a look in Burton's at the posters on the wall. He's one of the model's.
